A correspondent :of the Peoria Jour-
nal writes that the story recently pub
lished in connection with the portrait
Of Lincoln, saying that before going to
Washington Lincoln shaved off his
beard at the request Of lady. is UNI
true. He says that Lincoln before his
nomination had never worn beard,
but that the lady suggested that a
beard would improve his appearance,
and SO he let it grow, and it was an
Improvement.

During the canvass Of 1876 Mr..
Maynard was posted to speak at the
Town of Somerville, the shire town Of
Somerville, the shire town of Fayette
County. in West Tennessee. That is
the only county in the State in which
there is majority of colored people,
and Of course it was and is vet strongly
Republican. Nevertheless there was
and is in the county gang of as des-
perate and deyilish men rs can be
found.
When it was known in Somerville
that Mr.. Maynard was to speak there a
gang Of ruffians held council, and de-
termined to kill him while he was
speaking in the courtroom. He was
informed of the fact, but bravely de-
termined to make his speech, death or
no death.
Four desperate characters were
chosen to do the deyilish deed. and. to
provide them with the necessary cour-
age. they were filled full of whisky.
One of the leaders ofthe Republicans
of Fayette County was Sheriff Reeves,
as brave man as ever stopped Rebel
bullet. He also heard of the plot, and
with three brothers, as brave as him
self, and an uncle. entered the court
room and took seats on one of the tables
used by the lawyers. All OF them were
armed to the teeth. and ready to
scatter lead at moments notice.
The four chosen rufiians entered
soon after Mr.. Maynard began his
speech: and in moment one Of them
called him ..damned liar" and
repeated the insult again and again; all
the time the four moved forward to
ward the stand. just as the last one
was passing him, Sheriff Reeves plucked
him by the sleeve and whispered to
him: Don't you fellows interfere whit
Maynard. II you do, We tive will shoot
you down."
The fellow turned and called halt.
A hurried whispering took place, and
then the scounlrels slowly filed out
and disappeared. If they had inter-
fered with Maynard they would have
been killed to a dead certainty for the
Reeveses were dead shots. and as brave
as they make them anywhere. Sheriff
Reeves was marked for destruction
from that hour, rs were his brothers.
Two of the latter were killed by the
Rebels afterward, and he himself
carries three bullets to this day. The
uncle stood his ground and fought the
fight out; and, though a very old man
now. was elected Recorder of the coun.
ty at the election last fall. -Indidnapo.
